Chapter 20: Say It Plainly

We hit each other in the air above the stone table.

Her teeth missed my throat by an inch and closed on my shoulder.

I felt the skin go.

I came down under her with the full weight of her on my chest, and the grass tore up under my claws.

She was fast and she was light, and she had been trained to fight.

I had been in a cell.

She raked my ribs open and went for my neck again, and the whole ring roared.

My wolf did not panic.

She went still under the pain, and when Faye's jaws came down the third time, I turned my head and let them close on the thick fur of my shoulder.

Then I clamped down on her foreleg.

Bone cracked.

Faye screamed and let go.

I surged up and drove her onto her back, and she kicked at my belly, and I got my teeth around her throat.

I could have closed them.

She knew it.

Every wolf at that ring knew it, and the air went still.

Under my jaws, her pulse beat fast and weak against my tongue.

*Mine,* said my wolf. *Kill.*

I thought of Mark in the clearing.

I thought of his hand in mine, and of the confession, and of the toast.

I opened my mouth.

I did not want her to die in the grass with her pride whole.

I wanted her to answer.

A black shape hit Faye from the side and pinned her to the ground by the scruff.

Jasper had her.

She snapped at him once and he shook her until she stopped, and then he put his full weight across her back, gold eyes blazing, and growled into her ear.
